I have made a custom section in my umbraco, set up trees.config and applications.config, added a file under umbraco/custom etc. as per here for example How to create a Custom section in admin panel of umbraco 6?

trees.config:

<add application="custom" alias="custom" title="custom" assembly="CustomSection" type="Trees.LoadCustomTree" silent="false" initialize="true" iconClosed=".sprTreeFolder" iconOpen=".sprTreeFolder_o" action="" sortOrder="0" />

applications.config

<add alias="custom" name="custom" icon="custom.gif" sortOrder="10" />

Still I cannot see my custom section in my user edit screen.

Is there anything I need to set up/ watch out?

Thanks

  • Try to restart your website (new ddls, touch webconfig or iisreset).. Umbraco reads these config on startup. – Morten OC Oct 31 '14 at 13:45
  • No, it's not that. Tried it multiple times @MortenOC – nickornotto Oct 31 '14 at 16:40

    I had this issue and realised after creating the section also need to give your User access to it – Ben Stephens Nov 24 '14 at 01:10
  • @BenStephens yes, this is what I couldn't do because the section didn't appear on users permission lists. However I added an entry into the database directly and relogged. This worked. – nickornotto Dec 27 '14 at 20:25

Under certain circumstances (from memory, I think it happens if you change the name of your default Umbraco administrator user) your application won't appear in the permissions list in the Umbraco user manager.

You can fix this by manually creating an entry in the umbracoUser table to give permission to your administrator. Once this has been done, the option will appear for all of your users.
